We value Bluebird immensely. They help our mother a lot. The ladies who arrive twice daily, are kind and understanding and always prompt with their timings. Bluebird as a company are a godsend. Accommodating and professional. We discuss all aspects of our mother's care prior to and during visits and
her interests are always paramount to their cause! Thank you, Bluebird.
